I suppose so, since I don't see my accent and active vocabulary experiencing exponential betterment in the near future.
Just have to ditch my useless pride and fear of ridicule for once.
It's hopeless. My fear of speaking in public makes it impossible.
Maybe I'll pick this up again, once my spoken english is back to an acceptable level, even though I have no idea how it is supposed to get there.
This makes me sad, because it's another failure.
I could use some success once in a while...
Have you considered English audiobooks?
I know that most of my high level vocabulary has come from reading, and hearing native speakers will help unravel the more obscure parts of English speech.
Also, you're talking about your Riveria LP, right? You could try screenshots and text, which might fit the game better anyway.
I've got perfect english and rich vocabulary stuck in my head. It's just the lack of practice, since you never get to use spoken english outside of school around here.
Most of it comes from TV-series and animes, which I tend to watch a lot.
Hell, I even was at an english competition for my school and won. And now after 6 months it's all down the drain, due to the lack of practice.
Yeah, it's Riviera, but I really hoped I could pratice that way. I just hadn't realized how bad I've become at it, after all this time.
